"Reminiscences of Two Attacks on the Life
 of the German Emperor.
 had myself been in Berlin when both attacks were made upon the life of the Emperor-when Hoedle shot at him from the crowd, and Nobling from a window overlooking the celebrated street, Unter den Linden. A curious little incident occurred upon the latter occasion. As the Emperor was going to his afternoon drive in the Thier- garten, he asked an attendant stand ing in the hall of the palace why such an unusual and gayly-dressed crowd thronged the streets.
 ''They go to see the Shah of Persia, your Majesty" was the answer
 "Ah, then also must put on gala attire" the Emperor remarked. smil- ing, and forthwith took from a table his Prussian helmet, replacing with its steel plating the military cloth cap which he had before placed on his head. When a few hours later he was brought back to the palace wounded and bleeding. the helmet was dented in several places where the mixed shot used by Nobling had struck against the metal. Had the un- resisting cloth been there instead, who can tell how different the ending of the tragedy might have been?
 Two or three days after the attempt- ed assassination, the old monarch asked to see the clothes he had worn on that fatal day. Looking at the mill itary cape, riddled with shot, and the dents in the eagle-capped helmet, he turned to those standing by his bed- side, and with tears in his eyes, said, pointing to the marks of the bullets: Thank God it was not one of my own Berlin men who did that" "-BLack- acood'S Mdgdzine.

 MT. George Sabberly writing from Chicago to friend at Dry Fork, says: My Dear Abner: You know I came here to see about having a book rup- ished, but I am sorry to say that l have not yet found a publisher that s got the insight to recognize a good thing. carefully cut out all my Dry Fork notes that were published in the Hickory Knob Sapling, including the one about Uncle Dave Pruitt being chased through Gum Hollow by wild hog, and also that one giving the facts about the row over at Berkly meeting-house, but, Alb, do you know that these fellers failed to see the pointP The last one I called on laughed at me. Why, my dear sir, said he, the happenings at Dry Fork are not of interest to people who live away from there. I didn't hit him, Alb; didn't touch him, but I stepped back and gave him look that went clean through him and struck the wall. He didn't mind it, though Then I turned over a few pages and showed him the following side-splitter that you recollect wrote last August after I helped you clean out your well: old Tobe Millsaps' dog Pete ain't as lively as he used to be. The other day while going through the woods he met coon that was not on the best of terms with him, and then they had it up and down, over logs and through the bushes. but the des- tiny of battle seemed to hang in the dogs favor until the 'coon nailed him by the foot, and then he squawled in that, the hour of his great tribulation. Since then, old Pete has not been so lively by blamed sight Well, sir, it didn't faze him, and 1 bundled up my stuff and got out. had always heard that there was enterprise in this town, but have failed to find it Tell you what's fact.

Neither of Them Went.

Two mothers sat opposite each other in a car on a Michigan Central train going to Toledo the other day. Each had a baby about year old, and each baby came in for share of the admir- ation of the passengers. This seemed to make the mothers jealous, and after thinking the matter over for awhile one of them leaned across the aisle and said:
 'I feel it my duty to tell you to go into the car ahead with your child, as mine has the whooping cough"

HOTELS OF LONG AGO.
Description of a Typical American Inn
 Erected in the Year 1907.

| Description of Typical American Inn Erected in the Year 1907.
 In 1907 William Hodge, Sr., built an
 addition to his log house in Buffalo,
 and established tavern, about which
 his son, William Hodge, wrote thus:
 ''This noble mansion consisted of two
 rooms on the lower floor, with wide
 hall between them. It had battened
 doors, naked peeled beams and win
 dows of 7x9 glass. The north room was
 used as parlor, sitting room, main
 kitchen and dining room. The south
 room was the more public one. There
 the eye was caught by large black let
 ters on an unpainted door, telling the visitor to Walk in,' and there too was the 'latch-string,' hanging on
 the outer side of the door, This room also contained the bar,
 which was partitioned of in
 one corner. Under the shelves stood
 the whisky and cider barrels. and on
 them were the kegs of brandy, rum
 and gin, and one or two kinds of wine,
 as Madeira and port. May be there was also there a keg of shrub or pep permint cordial, and occasionally one of methegin. Sometimes, in the proper season, the bar would contain barrel of spruce beer. homemade, of course. There was no lager beer in those days. The sugar box and money drawer were made to slide under the front counter board. The white sugar then used came in higlF tapering, solid cakes called sugar-loaves, done up in coarse brown or black paper. A few may yet be seen. The liquors sold at the bar were always measured out in the wine-glass and gill cup, or in larger quanti- ties when desired. Cider was sold by the pint or quart, red peppers being added; and in cold weather it was set upon coals and embers to heat. The mixed drinks furnished at the bar were termed 'slings,' and were made of sugar-water and brandy, rum or gin, well-stirred with the sugar-stick.' Hot slings were made the same way, except that a hot iron was put in to temper them, a slight sprinkling of nutmeg being regularly added. A 'sangaree' was made in the same way. using wine instead of the stronger liquors. Nearly all were as much in the habit of using these different kinds of liquors as beverages as people now are of using tea, coffee and even milk. The fireplace in this bar-room and that in the north room were without jambs' the chimneys being built with split sticks and plastered. That in the north room was furnished with a 'trammel- pole and 'trammer with hooks to match, for hanging kettles, etc, over the fire. The hearths were made of stones gathered from the fields. The chamber rooms were used for sleeping purposes. An addition built on the east side of the bar-room was used as a back kitchen and wash-room. It had 8 sloping roof, being lean-to.' The fireplace was built in one corner of it, and the chimney and hearth were of the same materials as those in the other roOm&"-BIfaIo Ezpresa E-

UHLAND'S CENTENNIAL.
A German Poet Whose Works Were Sim
 cerely Admired by LOngfelIOw.

A century ago April 26, Ludwig Uh- land, one of the most popular of mod ern German poets, was born at Tubin- gin, an old town on the Neckar, where he spent the best part of his life, and the inhabitants of which place have never allowed their prophet to be de- spised in his own country. Wherever the German tongue is spoken, there Uhland has made a home for himself, first by his patriotic ballads, with which he stirred the heart of his countrymen at the beginning of the century, when ''the waves of the Adriatic moaned over the loss of Germany" and later on by his songs and other poems.
 Scholar, lawyer, politician and anti quarian though he was, he remained always first and foremost man, a poet of the people. whose joys and sor- rows he expressed as no other poet has done before or after him. As the Deutsche RuSdshau aptly says in re- cent article by H. Grimm: "Uhland's memory is kept alive by his poems, which ring through Germany like bells, and the rich music of which time has been unable to impair. The language in the rustling of the German forest and the mysterious sound of the mountain streams, whose whence and whither no one knows, and which are only met within the infinite solitude of the forest, have been taught by Uhland. Nobody can express the longing which is awakened by a look from some height over our country and the silver lines of our rivers as Uhland's shepherd boy, who looks dow n upon all the castles, and for whose funeral, too, the bells in the valley will some time be tolling." In England the name of the poet is chiefly associated with his version, in ballad form, of the legend of the ''Luck of Edenhall." while Longfellow's trans lations have familiarized the English public with several of his poems based on old legends. The first edition of the poets works was published Tn 1915; at his death, in 1862, over thirty edi- tions had appeared, ill 1875 the sixtieth was published, and the demand is still increasing.

AMUSING METAPHORS.
A Collection of Ridiculous. Witty and
 Humorous Remarks.

Humorous Remarks.
 Ridicule, says German critic, is like blow with the fist; wit, like the prick of needle; irony, like the sting of a thorn; and humor the plaster which heals all these wounds. All of these qualities may be found in some meta phors.
 Man is said to be an animal that has mania for getting up societies and making himself president. If the pres idency has been already claimed, he contents himself with the position of treasurer. In a cynical old bachelors opinion, ideas are like beards-men only get them when they grow up. and women never have any. It was prob ably another old bachelor who said: Mature shudders when she sees a woman throw stone; but when 8 woman attempts to split wood nature covers her head and retires to a dark and moldering cave in temporary de- spair." A spinster says old bachelors are frozen-out old gardeners in the flower-bed of love.
 A farmer said: "One thing I don't like about city folks-they be either so stuck up that yer can't reach lem with haystack pole, or so blamed friendly that they forget to pay their board. .''
 A rural poet said of his lady-love: "She is graceful as water-lily, while her breath is like an armful of clover" An American poet wrote eulogy of Washington. whose glorious life should compose volume as Alps immortal, spotless as it's snows. The stars should be its types, its press the age, the earth its binding, and the sky its page. Truly, some American poets go in for marvels of metaphor.
 "You look," said an Irishman to pale, haggard smoker, "as if you had got out of your grave to light your cigar, and couldn't find your way back again"
 A schoolmaster describing money lender says: "He serves you in the present tense, he lends you in the con- ditional mood. keeps you in the sub junctive, and ruins you in the future." A close observer of human nature re- marks: "Time marches on with the slow, measured tread of the man work ing by the day."

 A clergyman on board a ship began a sermon in the following manner: "Dear friends, shall embark my ex- hortation on the barge of my lips, in order to cross the stormy ocean of your attention, and in hope of arriving safely at the port of your ears."
 A young American lawyer employed to defend culprit charged with steal ing a pig, resolved to convince the court that he was born to shine. According ly he proceeded to deliver the follow ing brilliant exordium: "May it please the court and gentlemen of the jury, while Europe is bathed in blood; while classic Greece is struggling for her rights and liberties, and trampling the unhallowed altars of the bearded inti- dels to dust; while America shiaes forth the brightest orb in the political sky-I, with due difidencN rise to de- fend the cause of this humble hog +lsof ], ,oL II11IOn.

THE LATEST IN CANES.
A Brooklyn Dealers Chat About the
 Woods Now in Use.

Woods Now in Use.
 1.-The very latest thing in canes is the hazel stick" said a Fulton street shopkeeper. '.It resembles miniature tree, is big at the end and has large body. Here is one. You see that the wood is finely grained and that the bark is genuine. These sticks cost seventy-fve cents and one dollar, and are much affected by impecunious young men who ape the New York dudes. Canes are cut in the rough and brought to the city in carloads. In some mountainous districts many of the inhabitants do nothing else but cut and ship cane wood. In one factory in New York over ten thousand canes are turned out daily. They are hewed and turned wholly by machinery. Expert cane-makers earn big wages"
 "What are the principal woods now in use?''
 Florida oak, English hazel, dog wood, thorn, boxwood. apple, mulber- ". diamond willow, orange, yacca, red gum, cedar. chestnut, hickory, pear, lgnumvit@ and bog oak. The last named wood comes from Ireland and make a most handsome stick. The natives are quite clever at carving. They ornament the canes with sham rocks, harps and thistles, while on some castles in which the Blarney Stone is said to be locked up are carved. Here is a perfect bog oak. You can see that while the carving is rough it is we'll executed. The fine lines show the best The work is all done by hand, and to carve a stick as well as this must be the work of many days. Bog oak is found in the bogs of Ireland. The older the wood the better stick it makes. I shouldn't wonder but that the wood of which this stick is made has lain in the water for hundred years. Nc, gold headed canes are now not considered fashionable. They are affected by elderly men. Silver-headed canes will be worn as long as the dude continues to exist. heard the other day that a fashionable young man, a resident of Brooklyn, was poisoned by sucking a cane the head of which contained brass, but probably this was libelous tale," said the man of canes without blushing.
 Continuing, the reporters informant said:
 Ebony and rosewood are the stock sticks. They are anIlra4.i .44--@l l.~-------- or their strength. and surely what can be more handsome than highly-pol- ished ebony stick with a gold head? Slver-topped canes sell as high as ten dollars, but many of those sold by interruptions dealers contain less than two dollars worth of silver The same fraud is often practiced in gold-hesded canes, which sell from twenty dollars up. The buckthorn stick has had its day and is now but little used. The cane is perhaps more popular in Amer ica than England. In the latter coun- try it is considered a weakness for a man to carry cane and they are not affected by the nobility. Light canes are preferable in summer In um- brella heads many novelties are shown. The natural wood handle is best, l think, for daily wear. but many prefer gold and silver handles. Yes, there is a profit in this business, but not so big a one as many people imagine, said the cane man in conclusion. Brooklyn EaQle
